If you’d like to adopt an eagle, the most powerful type of raptor, then Danebury the Bald Eagle is the iconic bird of prey for you!
Danebury has lived at the Hawk Conservancy Trust since 1993, and is a veteran in our flying displays. He flies beautifully, with elegance and grace as he soars the skies across Reg’s Wildflower Meadow at the Trust.
Danebury has a very gentle manner – surprisingly so for a Bald Eagle. He is a lovely bird to work with. However, he does have a naughty side, and can be quite cheeky when he wants to be! He is a stunning bird, with the iconic white plumage of a Bald Eagle around his head. It can take Bald Eagles up to five years to develop these feathers, and are covered in brown feathers before this.
If you would like to adopt a Bald Eagle – especially one that’s cheeky – adopt Danebury, our Bald Eagle, today!
If you choose to adopt a bird of prey or owl you will be helping towards the care of our birds and conservation work that takes place in the UK and overseas.

Danebury is a beautiful Bald Eagle, who you can spot on his perch at the Hawk Conservancy Trust. He has a few favourite faces in the Bird Team, and is especially fond of Bird Team member Ryan Stephens. So much so, it’s hard for Ryan to get a word in edgeways when they are together!
Danebury is absolutely stunning to watch in flight, and has flown beautifully above Reg’s Wildflower Meadow over the years. Take a look at one of his amazing landings in slow motion.
